Parkour; a sport that pretty much entails the ability to leap from one rooftop to another. A sport that all wish they were able to be good at. Is this not awesome?

Oh, it is indeed awesome..!
I have been interested in the Parkour scene for about half a year now - not that I have the proper physics to do something like this yet, but I love the concept. Now, that guy in the vid must have been inspired by David Belle himself, or so it seems (it's even set in the same locations that much of Belle's footage is taken from..!) ;)

Makes me jealous I want to be that agile

You'll note he does a -lot- of basic practice in there.

... so it's not an immediate "let's go leap off walls" but a much more deliberate "let's go make sure I can land perfectly, every time, 50 times in a row, before leaping off a wall where I need to land perfectly"

Slightly more sane, but -damn- does he look good when doing it. :-)
